Chen Tian said curiously, "Oh, Chu Xuan, do you see anything famous?"

Chu Xuan carefully looked at the incense burner on the desk, frowned slightly, and muttered, "Strange, really strange." ”

Chen Tian said anxiously: "Strange?

Chu Xuan pinched his chin with his fingers, shook his head slightly, and said, "Big brother, look at the shape of this incense burner, ordinary incense burners are round, but this incense burner is heptagonal, isn't it strange?"

Chen Tian said with a blank face: "What can this mean, isn't it just an irregularly shaped incense burner, it can only show that it looks ugly, and then you look at the diamonds around it, even if it is ugly, it can highlight its nobility." ”

Chu Xuan said, "Big brother, wait... Wait, as soon as you mention diamonds, I suddenly understand. ”

Chen Tian asked, "What do you understand?"

At this time, Chu Xuan pulled out the three incense plants in the incense burner, held the incense burner in his hand and studied it.

Originally, Chen Tian wanted to stop his rude actions, but when he heard Chu Xuan chanting words like mantras, he stopped bothering him in an instant.

"Qiansanlian, Kun Liuduan, Zhenyangyu...... Ha, I see, less departure. Chu Xuan said in surprise.

Chen Tian was confused and said: "What do you mean? Can you explain it plainly? I don't know much about the I Ching gossip." ”

Chu Xuan said excitedly: "Big brother, I'll explain it to you." If you look at the distribution of these diamonds, does it look like a gossip symbol?"

Chen Tian stared at the diamonds on the wall of the incense burner, and after a few seconds, he nodded, "That's right." I hadn't noticed it before, but you said it a little bit like that. ”

Chu Xuan said: "What a god, these diamonds are put together as gossip symbols. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Big brother, look at the two sides of the longest incense burner, is it separated by a three-dimensional triangle in the middle, if you cut this triangle from top to bottom, then this incense burner is a gossip shape, right?"

Chen Tian thought about it for a moment and said, "That's right, it's true. ”

Chu Xuan explained again: "Look at the diamonds on the wall of this incense burner, each side seems to be arranged irregularly, but if you look closely, this represents different Bagua positions, according to my observation, the two longest sides are respectively the exchange position and the earthquake position, but they are inexplicably mixed with half of the Bagua positions, if you combine the two sides of the half, it is also a Kun position, which is also what I don't understand." ”

Chen Tian was still confused and asked, "What should that be?"

Chu Xuan scratched his head and said: "Kun is against Qian, Kan is against Li, if the two halves are out of position, it will be in line with the figure of gossip." ”

Chen Tian said: "Then how can we turn half of the gossip positions on each side into a disposition?"

When Chu Xuan heard this, he suddenly realized and said excitedly: "Big brother is big brother, one word is mysterious." ”

Chen Tian was surprised: "I didn't say anything, why did I break the mystery?"

Chu Xuan said: "Just as the eldest brother said, since it is not a departure, then change it to a departure." ”

Chen Tian asked with interest: "Then how does it become a departure?" ”

Chu Xuan replied: "The middle of the separation is missing, the middle of the separation should be the yin line, according to the length of all the yin and yang lines and the number of diamonds, remove the middle six diamonds, then it will become the departure." ”

"Big brother, this is your master's relic, why don't you do it yourself?"

Chen Tiandao: "Let's not distinguish between each other, come on." ”

"Oh well. ”

Chu Xuan picked off the diamonds one by one, and when he reached the sixth, the incense burner made a "click" sound.

Chu Xuan exclaimed when he heard this: "Big brother, there is a mechanism inside, maybe it is a secret grid or something." ”

Chen Tian looked at it carefully, and suddenly the three-dimensional triangle fell off the incense burner and quickly fell to the ground.

A yellowed note was scattered next to it, neatly folded.

Chen Tian picked up the yellowed note and carefully opened it.

When he opened the note completely, he was stunned by the pattern on it.

On the paper, there is a pattern that is the same as the mark on Chen Tian's abdomen, and there is a line of small words below the pattern: All things begin with qi, qi gives birth to people, life force, strength becomes qi.

"Chu Xuan, take a look, can you see any clues?" Chen Tian handed the paper to Chu Xuan and said.

Chu Xuan looked at it and exclaimed, "This... This pattern is familiar. ”

Chen Tian uncovered the clothes on his body, and the mark on his abdomen was revealed in front of Chu Xuan's eyes, and said: "This pattern is the same as the mark on my body, originally I thought it was just a tattoo, but a few days ago and one night, this mark suddenly changed, and it hurt to die and live, but I could feel that I had endless power, and then I fainted, and when I woke up, it became like this." ”

Chu Xuan looked at the mark on the skin on the surface of Chen Tian's abdomen, and immediately thought about it, and said, "I remember that every time my eldest brother drank too much wine, this tattoo mark would turn red, and then appear on the surface of the skin, but now it looks like it was burned by a soldering iron, how can this be?"

Chen Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on, if the master is still alive, maybe he can solve the puzzle, what does this line mean?"

Chu Xuan said: "I really don't know what this sentence means, it's a bit like an exercise or something. ”

Chen Tian said: "Aren't you proficient in the I Ching gossip, and you don't understand?"

Chu Xuan said with a smile: "Big brother, this sentence has not been mentioned in the Book of Changes, and besides, I am a novice in all aspects except for the Book of Changes and swordsmanship, you don't know more than me." ”

Chen Tiandao: "Look at this sentence, it's like the two rituals mentioned in the Book of Changes, and the four elephants give birth to gossip, so what does gossip give birth to?"

Chu Xuan suddenly felt that this eldest brother was too cute, and said with a "poof": "What's the gossip? Let me laugh for a while." ”

"Hey, you're serious. ”

"Gossip can't be born, gossip is auspicious. ”

"What do you mean?"

"This is a fortune teller used to fool people, do you believe it?"

"Okay. ”

Chen Tian was sure that the master was hiding something from him.

Or maybe it was because the time didn't come that Master didn't tell this important secret.

It's a pity that the master left early, otherwise there would be no need to bother so much now.

Chen Tian remembered the days when he cultivated with Master, and he remembered that Master had said, "This world is not what you see, when you practice the power of your physical body to the extreme, it is only the beginning. ”

To this day, he doesn't understand what Master meant by these words.

Looking at the entire underground world, Chen Tian thought that his strength was already at its peak, so he didn't care about his master's words at that time.

Over the years, Tianlong Island has been rampant in the underground world, and it is also inseparable from the demonic strength of him and several brothers.

The word "Tianlong Island" is already synonymous with the underground world, which makes those families, sects, and organizations all fearful.

After Tianlong Island unified the underground world, Chen Tian did not pursue a breakthrough in strength, but came to Gusu City of Country H to realize his plan.

Thinking about it at this moment, Chen Tian thought to himself that what Master said might be right.

Just by virtue of the sudden change in the mark on his abdomen that night, Chen Tian felt that this mark had brought him an unprecedented strength.

Such a surging power obviously did not belong to him, how did it appear, Chen Tian was still puzzled.

He only felt that it was an invisible force, something that was boundless but real.

Chen Tian pondered for a moment and said to Chu Xuan: "It is not difficult to understand the sentence 'Everything begins with qi, and qi gives birth to people', all living things rely on gas to survive, such as people need oxygen. ”

"The word 'life force' is also very easy to explain, after a person is born, he will gradually develop strength, and as he grows older, his strength will slowly increase, until he is old, and his strength will become smaller. ”

"However, how to understand 'strength into qi', is it possible that after a person's cultivation reaches the pinnacle, he can produce gas? ”

Chu Xuan said: "Could it be something equivalent to internal strength?"

Chen Tian said with a smile: "Nonsense, this thing of internal strength is purely an exaggeration of power by people in the world, to put it bluntly, it is still power, and it has nothing to do with qi." ”

Chu Xuan said: "How can that power become qi? It's not realistic. ”

Chen Tian said: "So this is also what I don't understand. ”

"Big brother, could it be like when I practiced swords, I could make the sword extinguish a row of lit candles in the air, is this qi?"

"No, it can't be understood that extinguishing the candle in the air, which is achieved by the flow of air, only proves that you are very powerful. Imagine that two masters of the underground world will face each other, and the power fluctuations emitted by the two of them are enough to affect the surrounding things, perhaps the 'qi' mentioned on the paper overrides such power fluctuations. ”

"It's so esoteric, I don't quite understand it. How a mortal body can produce 'qi' is simply unrealistic. ”

Chen Tian knew that since the master had intentionally left this note, there must have been his intentions.

And the pattern on the paper is the mark on his abdomen, so he thinks that the content on it must be closely related to him.

It's just that he and Chu Xuan's guesses alone will definitely not be able to solve the problem, so they can only put this matter aside for the time being and wait for the future to find out.

Chen Tian put the note in his arms, looked at Chu Xuan with a smile and said, "Okay, don't worry about this problem anymore, we should also go and pick up Fan Yuan." ”

Chu Xuan thought that Fan Yuan was still patrolling the room, and immediately laughed so much that people turned their backs.

The poisonous bee sent Chen Tian and Chu Xuan to the gate of the patrol room, and the two of them forced a smile and walked in.

Of course, Chu Xuan put his Dragon Sword in the car, otherwise he would have been able to enter the patrol room.

Coincidentally, as soon as Chen Tian entered the door, he heard a voice not far away: "Mr. Chen, why did you come to our patrol room, is there something wrong?"

When Chen Tian heard the sound, he saw Mo Gan, who had a plaster cast tied to his arm, sitting on an electric wheel, watching them ecstatically.

Chen Tian stepped forward and said, "Mo Gan, you just had surgery in the morning and were discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, do you want to be so dedicated." ”

Mo Qian said excitedly: "Mr. Chen, this time it is really thanks to you, otherwise my arm would be useless, no, it doesn't hurt at all now, it's just that my movement is a little inconvenient, but I have been thinking about this case in my heart, so I came over by the way to take a look and study the case." ”

Chen Tian smiled: "Has there been any progress in the case?"

Mo Gan hung his head and said: "Hey, don't hide it from Mr. Chen, I don't have a clue at the moment, I only know that the perpetrator is a woman with a sword, and she is still a powerful master." ”

When Chu Xuan on the side heard this, he immediately said, "Master with a sword, can you let us see the photos of the deceased?"

Mo Qian glanced at Chu Xuan and asked Chen Tian, "Mr. Chen, who is this?"

Chen Tian said: "Oh, let me introduce, this is my younger brother Chu Xuan. ”

"Chu Xuan, this is Mo Gan, Mo Patrol. ”

The two smiled and nodded.

Mo Qian said: "Since you are Mr. Chen's brother, I can naturally show you the picture of the deceased, please come with me." ”

Mo Gan drove the electric wheelchair in front, Chen Tian and Chu Xuan in the back, and the three of them walked in the direction of Mo Gan's office.
